No More Heroes To Save Your Thursday Night

It is officially official. NBC has cancelled Heroes. Heroes started out in 2006 as a strong ratings draw, but consistently declining viewers each season has left it harder for NBC to justify. What was once a highly focused serial, a la Lost, Heroes storylines eventually spiraled into wildly varying directions. While still popular overseas, and with strong DVD sales, the option was there to give an abbreviated 5th season the green light to wrap up storylines. NBC decided it just wasn’t worth it. There may be a short miniseries or TV movie to wrap up, but nothing has been decided yet.
